Angling Trust <updates@anglingtrust-news.net> Tuesday 23rd October 2018 Welcome to your October Sea Newsletter Bass Back in the Bag After eight months of hard work by the Angling Trust anglers are finally able to keep sea bass caught recreationally from October 1st until the end of 2018. One bass per day can be kept by anglers and other recreational fishers after a proposal was adopted by the EU Council. Find out more here Wrasse On The BBC Don’t miss the Angling Trust’s Head of Marine, David Mitchell, on BBC’s Inside Out this month sticking up for angling and talking about why the Angling Trust is campaigning against the transport of wild English wrasse to be used as ‘cleaner fish’ in Scottish salmon farms. Catch up on the programme here. See shocking footage of salmon farming here. Angling Trust Responds To Bait Digging Threat The Angling Trust has defended anglers and bait diggers by responding to a consultation by Natural England on the proposed scope and application of Natural England’s Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) byelaw-making powers. The Angling Trust fears could be used to further limit access by anglers and bait-diggers to Sites of SSSIs, both for existing anglers/bait-diggers and those who may wish to carry out these activities in the future. Angling Trust Urges Defra To Change Strategy On Bluefin Tuna This month the Angling Trust joined forces with charter skippers and the Sportfishing Club of the British Isles by writing to Defra expressing concerns over ThunnusUK and the tagging project taking place off the Cornish coast. We're urging them to embrace the experience and goodwill of the recreational angling sector. Read more here Southern IFCA Consulting on Netting The Southern IFCA is undertaking a review of net fishing management arrangements for estuary, harbour and pier areas in the district. They will be looking into developing netting regulations to better conserve inshore fish stocks. The Angling Trust will be responding and encourages all our members and clubs who fish within the Southern IFCA District to respond too. Click here for more details EU Registration/Licencing Proposals For Recreational Fishing – Update The European Union is currently reviewing the Common Fishery Policy ‘Control Regulation’. Proposals include requiring countries to introduce registration or licencing for recreational fishing. The Angling Trust has already raised its concerns with the government over this and is planning to survey sea anglers over the proposals. Keep your eye out for more news on this subject. IVMS Consultation The government is seeking views on introducing Inshore Vessel Monitoring Systems (I-VMS) for all licensed British fishing boats under 12 metres in length operating in English waters. The Angling Trust will be responding to the consultation in due course and encourages all our members and member clubs to use our response to submit their own. Keep your eye out for more details in next month’s Sea Update. Green's Superb Starry Smoothhound is Specimen Winner for September A cracking 140cm starry smoothhound was sufficient for captor Daryl Green to claim the 'Specimen Winner' title for September's Species Hunt competition. Daryl was fishing from Hayling Island beach using a pennel pulley rig and a squid/ragworm bait. The competition is certainly tight - just one species separated 1st, 2nd and 3rd places as we entered October! Keep up with the Species Hunt on Facebook #ThisGirlCan #GetFishing - send us pics At the end of October angling will once again join in with This Girl Can's new campaign to help women get active.

I use 20lb braid for all my inshore fishing and step up to 30lb max for heavy duty fishing. I mainly use Berkley fireline and it lasts forever. I always attache a leader of the same breaking strain with a good quality leader knot. Either will be fine with a running leger.

Have a good day. Have you wetted a line recently?

What a cracker, well done.

Hope you're both enjoying your day. Was tother your official birthday Nige?

I'd go for the 4 - 7 one - land most anything you're likely to hook - i rarely cast more than 6oz.

Have a memorable day..

Takes five minutes

Lazy start with Geoff Lambert this morning and motored in friendly conditions to Bmth pier area - no mackerel so went to Boscombe pier - same result except for Geoff catching a tub double on the feathers. So it was to Southbourne to target plaice. They were few and far between - no doubt many have been unable to dodge the copious nets. However we pressed on to find tubs and grey gurnards and to great surprise a red mullet, plus the odd mackerel to the lazy line. Eventually a plaice put in an appearance - followed by several others - one of good size. As the day drew on we moved west and drifted near Boscombe pier and then Bmth pier where i latched into the smallest thornback ray i've ever seen. All in all a good day - fine weather and a northerly wind to make it even more comfortable.
